With danger inside her family’s own security network, Serafina is forced to accept protection from Dante Vescari, the ruthless mafia heir promised to her younger sister. His guarded penthouse may keep the assassins outside, but it leaves Serafina trapped with the one man she cannot afford to want.
Dante sees through every mask she wears. He knows about the blood beneath Saint Aurelia, the photographs that could destroy her, and the secrets powerful men have used to control her for years. As they investigate the conspiracy surrounding both families, distrust gives way to dangerous intimacy—and the line between protection and possession begins to disappear.
But every new clue reveals another betrayal. False allies move in the shadows. Old crimes are rewritten. Family loyalties fracture. And someone is determined to turn Serafina’s darkest secret into the weapon that starts a war.
To survive, Serafina must decide whether Dante is the greatest threat to her heart—or the only man she can trust when devotion demands a terrible price.
